Lucas,
The standard procedure for reporting Cygwin problems (especially setup
problems) is to attach the output of "cygcheck -svr", as indicated in
<http://cygwin.com/problems.html> (which is a good read in any case).
At a guess, are you installing as a domain user?
BTW, the post-install script invocation should be logged in
/etc/setup/setup.log.full, so you can look there to verify whether the
scripts were actually invoked, and whether there were errors. This file
is overwritten on every install, though, so try blowing away your Cygwin
directory (see <http://cygwin.com/faq/faq.html#SEC19>), re-installing from
scratch, and then looking at the file.
